What Is the ProAdjuster?
The ProAdjuster is a computerized chiropractic system originally developed by Sigma Instruments. It consists of a sensor and an applicator that measure spinal joint resistance (compliance) and deliver a controlled, oscillating impulse to specific joints. Key features of the ProAdjuster include:
- Computerized assessment of joint mobility and resistance
- Low-force, instrument-delivered adjustments — no cracking or twisting
- Precise targeting of individual spinal segments
- Objective measurement that can be compared across visits
- Gentle enough for a wide range of patient presentations
Divine Spine Yorkdale is one of the few chiropractic clinics in Toronto offering the ProAdjuster as a primary treatment tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the ProAdjuster painful?
Most patients describe ProAdjuster treatment as comfortable and gentle. The instrument delivers a rapid, low-force impulse that does not involve manual cracking, twisting, or sustained pressure. It is generally well-tolerated, including by patients who have had discomfort with manual chiropractic techniques in the past.
Is the ProAdjuster suitable for children and seniors?
The low-force nature of the ProAdjuster makes it suitable for a wide range of ages. Dr. Adib Ashraf will assess each patient individually and determine whether ProAdjuster care is appropriate based on their presentation and health history.
How is the ProAdjuster different from manual chiropractic?
Manual chiropractic adjustments are applied by hand and may involve higher velocity or force. The ProAdjuster delivers a computerized, low-force impulse. Both approaches target spinal joint function; the ProAdjuster offers a gentler, instrument-based alternative that may be more appropriate for certain presentations or patient preferences.

How Dr. Adib Ashraf Uses the ProAdjuster
Dr. Adib Ashraf at Divine Spine Yorkdale uses the ProAdjuster as a core assessment and treatment tool across a wide range of spinal conditions. Using the instrument’s sensing capability, Dr. Adib Ashraf identifies areas of joint restriction and applies precise, controlled adjustments to targeted segments. This approach allows for a detailed, objective assessment of spinal joint function and the delivery of care without the forces involved in manual manipulation. The ProAdjuster is central to Divine Spine Yorkdale’s approach to chiropractic care in Toronto.
Is the ProAdjuster Right for You?
The ProAdjuster is not a replacement for all forms of chiropractic care — it’s a tool that fits certain patients particularly well. Those who benefit most tend to be individuals who are new to chiropractic and prefer a gentler introduction, patients with osteoporosis or other conditions that make manual manipulation less appropriate, and those who have had previous negative experiences with traditional adjustments. Athletes and active patients also use it for regular maintenance care because it allows for consistent, precise spinal input without the soreness that can occasionally follow manual techniques. At Divine Spine Yorkdale, Dr. Adib Ashraf will assess whether the ProAdjuster aligns with your specific needs during your initial visit. There’s no pressure to commit to a long-term plan at the first appointment — the $27 initial exam is simply an opportunity to understand what’s going on with your spine and discuss your options clearly.
